PIA Principles for Health Care Reform

1. Build on and support the private health care system, don’t dismantle it
2. Improve existing government programs
3. Do not create a government-owned insurance agency or brokerage
4. Preserve the role of independent agents and brokers
5. Build upon successful state-based innovations
6. Do not tax employer-provided health care benefits
7. Encourage cost controls and wellness programs
8. Congress needs to forge the broadest possible consensus before enacting any reform legislation
